I've been reading rec.photo.equipment.large-format since I got started with the Graphic. There have been reports of LF photographer gatherings in the midwest which sounded like fun. Is anybody interested in doing such a thing out here in the greater Washington DC area? It'd be nice to share the stares when I take the camera out.

Stares? You mean onlookers don't smile at you and tell you that you really know what you're doing?

No. Apparently I look like a dangerous lunatic or something , since the usual reaction I get is people standing off at a distance pointing and talking to each other rather than asking me what I'm doing. (Or maybe I just look so preoccupied that they don't want to bother me...)
